Guinness Chocolate Gingerbread Cake for your Valentine

Are you in search of a Valentine’s dessert that doesn’t star chocolate?

A Valentine’s dessert that will wow, without being over the top?

Me too.

Or at least I was, until I stumbled across this Guinness Chocolate Gingerbread Cake.

It has just the right amount of smouldering deliciousness to launch that arrow; to satisfy a hungry heart.

This recipe has been sitting in wait for a Valentine’s blog post. I have served it at dinner parties and I baked it for my mom’s birthday, all the while waiting for Valentine’s season to really show it off.

What makes it a smoulderingly delicious Valentine’s dessert?

This cake is full of love and warmth and enough flavour to stop you in your tracks. You’ll take notice of this cake and you might even sneak away with the leftovers.

Be pleased that the recipe makes a good sized cake and that one can of Guinness is enough for two batches. Please don’t shy away from the amount of ground ginger called for. It works, it really does.
